And like worms, we protruded from the fruits, of which their trees we preened and presented proudly, all in aid of one thing. A tainted tribute to "The Swinging Sounds Of The Gatecrashers” yet without any meaning. The confession is almost here as strange words were sheepishly hustled from our mouths, just to quell the harsh sounds of their pleas. "The New Nuisance" is wild and alive, delving not only into our daily journey to and from the pub but also into stagnant images such as waiting at the dentist or talking to your newsagent about the weather. These sullen portraits endemic to modernity are harboured amid the tightly knit fabric of "The New Nuisance" and strewn out on the proverbial table in the form of frantic scratching horns, thick writhing synth lines fighting with a skronky chaotic mess of guitars and percussion to form a thick noxious soup that has been described simply as "almost unbearable". Capturing the chaotic energy of bands like Duds, Country Teasers, The Cardiacs, DEVO or The Birthday Party but with such a snotty, childish delivery that it is almost as close to making a mockery of these references as it is far from attempting to paying to tribute to them. This 4-track EP is the epitome of a band thought to be uncapturable in a studio environment.
"An avant-punk offering filled with boundaryless energy, fun and imagination. From the off, expect a sonic assault of growling vocals, blaring brass and driving guitars with rhythmic wrongfootings and waltzing carnival-esque keys. Components of the songs feel very welcomingly familiar, yet they are put together in a way that feels very fresh." - NARC Magzine
